NOMANI, MONTHS EARLIER, HAD MADE A PILGRIMAGE TO MECCA.
"There were no backdoors. There were no separate areas. So when I was faced
with that in my mosque in Morgantown, I knew that this wasn't necessary."
"Our issues have to be out there."
NOMANI IS PART OF A FLEDGLING PROGRESSIVE MOVEMENT GAINING SUPPORT AMONG SOME
AMERICAN MUSLIMS.

"This is an attempt to give a voice to what we believe are really millions of
people around the country that have had enough, have had enough of the
ultraconservatism that prevails in many muslim institutions, that feel
disaffected and unwanted."
ONE ISSUE, SAYS A MUSLIM WRITER, IS THAT MANY WHO REGULARLY ATTEND MOSQUE IN
THE U-S ARE IMMIGRANTS WITH A MORE CONSERVATIVE VIEW OF ISLAM.
"There is a level of cultural fluidity, of gender norms, that people come to
expect in this society that right now do not in fact exist in the mosque
spaces."
THE MOSQUE IN MORGANTOWN SAYS IT'S PROGRESSIVE MUSLIMS LIKE NOMANI WHO ARE OUT
OF TOUCH.
"Issues like men and women praying side by side and gay rights are not going to
be accepted by the mainstream anytime soon and maybe never."
"There are many avenues for flexibility in many matters. But there are certain
matters that have a bedrock theology that you cannot circumvent."
BUT NOMANI SAYS PARTICULARLY AFTER 9/11, MODERATES MUST KEEP PUSHING FOR
CHANGE.
"We can't allow closed doors and closed hearts and closed minds to define our
Muslim world."
